I don't know how many of you are a part of MLD, but I'm sure you got the las test issue and are sad. I am. Just wanted to see what everyone else thinks. Dick has done a great job keeping it up, so a round of cheers!
Yeah, figured it'd be something like that. It'd be great to openly publish the lot with emails redacted....... just user or personal first used to follow threads etc.......http://www.gotmead.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=category§ionid=9&id=43&Itemid=66
Unfortunately it's a PITA to search.
He just doesn't want to release the followers email addresses.
Just looking at a few issues from each year shows how far mead making has come, and sometimes, how little it has changed.

As announced in the preceding digest, this is the last issue of the
Mead-Lover's Digest.
Archives of the MLD will remain available. Digests from 2013 may be found at
www.talisman.com/mead/curyr
(and will remain there in spite of not being the "current year")
Compressed archives of previous years may be found at either
www.talisman.com/mead/tarchive (tar format)
www.talisman.com/mead/zipper (zip format)
Try the tar format first; it's more compact. Linux and Mac systems handle
it properly.
Is there any interest in perhaps culling some info out of the archives? If so, what kind of info? I took a quick look at some of the archives and looks like the format is consistent back to at least 2002.

Seems like it wouldn't be terribly difficult to parse the archives using Perl (handy scripting language used pretty regularly for certain things on Unix computers). Depending upon what people would want out of the archives, other tools may be more appropriate.
I can't promise anything as far as a time frame goes, but if there is some interest I should be able to parse the archives to get at least some useful info from them if people thinks it would be useful.
Let me know if you are willing to do this, otherwise I'll take a crack at it. I'm sure it'd be super useful and educational.
